Sex, Science, and Stem Cells

INSIDE THE RIGHT WING ASSAULT ON REASON

Congresswoman Diana DeGette

 

A top congresswoman’s stinging rebuke of those who politicize science and sex.

“Over time, I realized that the politicization of science by the Republicans and the religious right was at its most insidious over any issue relating to human reproduction. This brought me to the inevitable conclusion that too many of our elected officials are simply incapable of thinking rationally about sex. I could think of no other explanation. The disconnect was so transparent that some of our older male politicians couldn’t even talk about any aspect of human sexuality without biting their lips to avoid snickering like schoolboys.”
